Brand New Evo9 (electric Blue) Stolen!!

Just a heads up. Family Mitshubishi North (in Fishers/INDY) stolen off the lot over the weekend. it was an EVO9 electric blue. THe last person to test drive it mentioned my name! I dont know the guy. Dont know of a connection though. Here is the VIN#
JA3H86C36U011152.

Be careful out there, and watch for Electric blue parts coming up for sale on here. Let me know if you "hear" about this one thru the grapevines. Thanks.

Agreed. they took it out of a "locked" lot, and drove over a curb, and thru some bushes. People in this town know me and the car. They think it could be an inside job, "x" employee etc... unsure.

sorry to hear about that....def get to the bottom of why your name was dropped. I'd be a monkey on fire if someone tossed my name into a mess like that.

People are so stupid. I feel sorry for the person who had to stoop low enough to steal a car. Hope everything turns out alright and you don't get dragged into it.

I am up there alot, at the dealership, and I send a "boat-load" of people up there to buy evos. Maybe the guy who test drove it has NOTHING to do with it!!!!
